This was fol- lowed by a post-doctoral fellowship at the Mineral Deposit Research Unit at the University of British Columbia working on volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits in the Canadian Cordillera, including the Anyox deposits. Following this, Ross has worked in the exploration, consulting and government geoscience sectors nationally and internationally. Ross is a director of the Mineral Deposits Division of the Geological Association of Canada, a Councillor for Industry with the Society of Economic Geologists and a member of the editorial board for the Journal of Economic Geologists. In 2003 he was awarded the William Harvey Gross award, by the Mineral Deposits Divi- sion of the Geological Association of Canada, for contributions to the field of economic geology in a Canadian context. *Current address Gold Field Exploration [email protected] 2Julie Domvile Julie Domvile is a freelance writer who has been writing articles for the mineral exploration and mining sector for many years.
